The drinks, the salmon and the orecchiette were good and tasty. The tartare both appetizer and entree were very small, as a side (only entree version) basic salad from a bag (the other choice was fries from frozen bag), with 5 thin croutons very hard to eat, why not regular baguette bread?

the vibe and the music was really good, beautiful decor and amazing terrasse service could’ve been better but we noticed the lack of staff that night so we understood why it took so long to order appetizers and drinks were really good but the main dishes were a bit disappointed overall, we had a really good experience and would definitely come back during the daytime and see really see the terrasse for what it is (:

About the restaurant

Two panoramic views that will take your breath away
Panoramic views of the Old Port and St. Lawrence River on one side, amazing scenery from St. Paul Street on the other—the rooftop views from Terrasse sur l’Auberge paint a beautiful portrait of Montreal’s historic district. From late June to early August the skyline ignites with an array of colour during the International Fireworks Competition. There’s no better place to enjoy a prime view of these award-winning pyrotechnics. It’s also the perfect observatory to admire the illumination of Jacques Cartier Bridge, every night, at sunset.
